Do I regret choosing art instead of science as career?
No I don't! Cos now I'm a #sciartist 😄
Who was an empirical marine biologist for 15 years too, when I used to live near the sea.

Lisa’s statement about the triptych “For Lisa Levin”: “Enveloping the viewer in atmospheric, outsize scenes of bizarre sea creatures and remote habitats, my paintings highlight the shifting space between human beings and the natural world. Collaborating with scientists in Antarctica and the deep sea, I invoke the history of artists and scientists working in tandem to share new discoveries. Dr. Lisa Levin was the first deep sea scientist I ever accompanied on an expedition and has shaped my entire trajectory as an artist. I painted this series on the occasion of her retirement. The first painting of Fabricia limnicola represents Dr. Levin’s early PhD work, Archinome levinae her namesake scaleworm and represents the incredible influence she has had on the deep sea community, and the octopus larvae is based on the research of Levin’s final PhD student, Dr. Lilly McCormack who commissioned the work.”
A series of three paintings on dark turquoise backgrounds. The first painting shows a translucent worm with thread-like protrusions from the end of its body.
The middle painting depicts a fat marine bristle worm with iridescent scales covering its body and clusters of bristles at on either side of each segment.
The third painting depicts a translucent larval octopus.

Artist statement: “I am a graphic painter, graduate of Applied Arts in industry. Duperré School, in advertising design and graphic art. At the exit of Arts Appliques. in 1973. I joined Aéroports de Paris and participated in the preparation of the launch of the new Roissy CDG airport in 1974. From 1981 to 2010, I assumed union responsibilities in transport, then in 1996 I returned to Aéroports de Paris and successively became in charge of commercial relations with Air France then Director of the Orly West Terminal. From my multidisciplinary training in Applied Arts. I maintain an interest in all forms of creation. I continue to draw and paint as often as possible with the plan of being a painter later. Since 2011, I have lived and worked in my workshop in Rennes. Later became now! I work mainly on the theme of memory: the organization of human memory, books and their rhythm in libraries. ancient writings. architecture. major projects and beyond. the perpetual formation of Earth and Space. My favorite media often had a first life. I reuse large cardboard packaging boxes and already used papers. for example pleater rolls. poster walls. I like to work on wrecked supports, if they are not wrecked from the start, I “wreck”” them up myself, notably by pleating in such a way as to make the graphic gesture more or less random. I then carry out work of construction, deconstruction/reconstruction of the work by a process that I call tearing/pasting. I sometimes introduce covers. for example using red threads and hidden texts. Moreover. I practice sketching with a felt-tip pen on the spot and as often as possible.”

This painting shows a hatchet fish, the name refers to the shape of its body which, with a little imagination, reminds one of a hatchet. It’s a tiny fish with a silvery skin, which reflects the little light that reaches its habitat in the twilight zone. I used different colors to show the iridescence. The eyes of the fish are quite large and always look upwards, to look for prey and predators. I painted the background in very dark blue, with a mist of lighter blue, to illustrate the tiny bioluminescent creatures floating in the dark.

Hello everyone!

This is an illustration made with oil color on canvas. The background shows a blurry ocean floor in phtalo green (one of my favorite colors). Above the ocean floor “floats” a bluish colored Pacific Stingray. The wings of the ray are quite round and give this animal the shape of a disk (with a tail). The ray on the painting has tiny, round eyes and dark spots like freckles all over its body.
